Tata Power Deploys 60 MWh BESS Across Three Locations in Mumbai
Tata Power has operationalised 60 MWh of BESS across Mahalaxmi, Saki and Mankhurd in Mumbai, with the installations serving a distribution network covering over 8 lakh consumers and supporting peak demand management.

The installations store electricity during lower-cost solar generation hours and discharge it during evening peak demand, helping optimise power procurement costs, improve energy utilisation and reduce dependence on expensive peak-hour electricity, the company stated.
Equipped with fast-response and high ramp-rate capabilities, the systems support dynamic load management and enable the distribution network to respond to fluctuations in demand. Operating at approximately 1–1.5 cycles per day, the installations also support peak load management and power procurement optimisation.
The decentralised, grid-connected systems provide localised energy storage and dispatch capabilities, while their black-start functionality supports grid restoration during power system disturbances.
The operational capacity forms part of Tata Power’s larger plan to modernise Mumbai’s electricity infrastructure. In April 2025, the company received approval from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to deploy 200 MWh of BESS across 10 strategic locations in the city.
The larger deployment is aimed at strengthening grid stability, managing peak demand, improving reactive power management and supporting faster restoration of electricity supply to critical infrastructure, including hospitals, Metro services, airports and data centres, the company stated.
